Today in our reading, we hear about the false gods of Babylon. Based on worldly success alone, the Babylonian gods would have seemed very powerful. Isaiah doesn’t buy it though. He prophesies that the so-called gods will ultimately be conquered and go into captivity just like the many nations Babylon had led into captivity in their names. The point is clear: God has no equal. We can dress up our idols to look as beautiful and powerful as we want, but reality does not change with fancy outfits, with lots of money, or lavish lifestyles. A dressed up, outrageously expensive and honoured idol is still just a statue made from wood and metal. Our idols may look different today, perhaps we still dress them up with false piety, or designer clothes, or whatever we need to justify their importance. But whatever our modern gods might be, in reality there is only one true God. He is not cruel, or unjust, but brings righteousness, truth, love, and change to our lives.

The Watchmen; Isaiah 61-63
The Hebrew term for watchmen is šāmar. It literally means to keep, to guard, to observe and give heed, and it is used many times in the book of Ezekiel. To be a watchman was a very important position as they were the ones who kept an eye out to alert the people of the city about news or danger. G...
